Nattskevor & Jeremiader is a collection of jeremiads, or musical hymns meant for the night. Noisy piano harmonies and broken synth pads compose a symphony of nostalgia, where darkness whispers its secrets and resonates with the echoes of long forgotten dreams.

The Swedish album title translates as Night Skews & Jeremiads, which was early 20th century working class street talk referring to shady individuals (Nattskevor) and mournful complaints (Jeremiader). Per found these words in the book Kungens Rosor (1944) by Moa Martinsson.

The album was made using modular synthesizers and old tape recorders. Especially important gear include: Expert Sleepers Disting Ex, Rossum Panharmonium, Monome Ansible, Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus, Chase Bliss Thermae, and Nagra iii.

Aprilafton ii is a remake of a song first released on the compilation album Inter-Galactic Sonar Communications Probe Vol.1 by Nādāsana.

Epoché iii is the third (and likely not last) remake of the original Epoché.

Per Barfot - 1913

"... of every origin, superessentially super-original origin; and of the Hidden, as far as is right, beneficent communication; and, in one word, the life of the living, and essence of things that be; of all life and essence, origin and cause; because Its goodness produces and sustains things that be, in their being." 
—Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (On Divine Names, Ch. I, Section III)

The Dream Garden

Augustus awoke with a glassy tinkling in his ears. It was so cold that there was a sparkle of fine frost over the dormitory. On his bed lay a long, elegant crystal, shimmering from within. It was his last dream, frozen solid.

Wrapping his ragged blanket around him, Augustus cradled the frigid fantasy and sneaked out. He felt sick with fear as he descended the steep, narrow staircase. His bare feet were numb and he clenched his jaw to stop his teeth chattering

He knelt by the grey stone wall at the end of the garden, rocking the glistening gem in his arms until the first beam of the rising sun fell upon it. The crystal gradually lost its luster, fading and shriveling until Augustus was left holding the body of a large lizard with glowing skin. Its diamond eyes faded in the dawn light.

Fighting back tears, he scraped a hole in the vegetable patch with his bare hands, burying the body with the others. As he crept back to bed, he prayed he would dream no more dreams, at least until it was warmer and they could find their own way to the garden.

The Dream Garden

Pineapple

Enshrouded in high-pitched static and elusive fumelike oscillators come "Sundowning", a new mini-album signed by Preston Weippert's most prolific alias, aka Volunteer Coroner. Co-founder of the Colorado-based Trust Collective label, Weippert's music vectors a collection of desolate murals often painted with industrial-grade fuel. A low-resolution picture of oil fields burning from your window seat. Closed eyelids against the sun, into the red.
